Never Too Late for Pumpkin

I know it's spring and all, and pumpkin isn't exactly in season. But I don't care. Pumpkin is good any time, especially in Happy Herbivore's yummy Pumpkin Gnocchi with Alfredo Sauce:

Both recipes come from The Happy Herbivore Cookbook, Volume One. The pumpkin gnocchi offers an alternative to traditional potato-based gnocchi. It's super garlicky and since the recipe only serves two, it made just enough to feed me dinner and leftovers the next day.

The alfredo sauce recipe is actually listed separately under the book's sauce section, but I thought it'd be the perfect gnocchi topping. And I was right! I've tried a lot of vegan alfredo sauce recipes, and this is my favorite! It's so creamy and delicious. I had a hard time not eating the sauce by itself from the pan with a spoon. This will be my new go-to alfredo recipe.
